Google had displayed to Nigerians that exchange rate was 184:00 Naira to $1.

Google on Friday began to show to Nigerians that Naira exchange rate to one dollar was 184:00 Naira to $1, taking the minds of some persons to 2015 while also making some think Muhammadu Buhari's government had performed magic.

#Dollar became the talk of the town and people began to share it, but one thing they failed to see was that social networks have becomes places where elections are rigged.

By the time you get to the end of this article, we must have been on the same level of thought concerning how free, fair and credible the result of Nigeria's election will be.

How will you feel, if Nigeria’s currency suddenly appreciates by nearly 100% against the dollar?

Apparently very excited, because it means that the cost of
those foreign items you love to buy at the malls could now be purchased at a lower price, saving you some change. You gat woh-I-mean?

But this appreciation of the Naira against the dollar
actually happened on the eve of February 23, a day that had been set aside for Nigeria’s
Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Was this intentional, real or was there really an issue with
the giant - Google?

Google had found its way to Nigeria and was doing ground work,
setting up free Wi-Fi at different locations to make Nigerians all get
connected to the internet. It was a gesture greeted with zeal, as many began to hook up to it for their internet connection. They wanted to save money.

The focus were the cities with the highest number of
Nigerians and those cities also hold the highest number of voters (Check INEC's PVC collection) that any one in the presidential race will love to win.

Nigerians loved the Wi-Fi.

It became a darling to them and everyone was happy, praying
for Google as if the business needed deliverance.

Actually, Google may need deliverance over the display of 184:00
Naira to one dollar which happened the night before Nigerians match out to vote.

People started talking about it even on social networks and
the bug truly permeated from phone to phone and from one social network page to
another.

Like oil that touched one finger and spreads to the other four
fingers, the dollar talk moved over to other social networks and began to trend
on Twitter.

Some people believed Nigeria’s currency had appreciated overnight.

But it is only God that can do such miracle the kind recorded in
2 Kings 7:1-18.

What could have happened that the Naira suddenly made a quantum leap?

Several conspiracies are involved
and I will share them all, but you are to look at them critically and see that
there could be someone playing with our elections.

The electoral body had in the day, while briefing observers
and the media, talked about a process that will help the voters locate their
polling unit.

Google was specifically mentioned by the Professor, playing a role in our electoral process.

This is how the gotomypu.ng 'is' when Bounce News Checked it

“Citizens can obtain locations directions to their polling
units by visiting gotomypu.ng.

“They will access the location of their PU and then link to
Google map that will lead them to the PU.

“In the last 10 days, about 190,000 voters have utilised the
various social media platforms to geo-locate their polling unit,” Professor Yakubu
said.

Everyone that will visit that google console to make a search
was likely to see the 184 Naira thing and many will fall for it, considering
how gullible some Nigerians are.

There is a likelihood that the individual will see the Naira
to Dollar search and jump on it then see the 184 Naira thing and change his/her
mind about who to vote for.

It can also be that someone had used that google figure to make
people get resentment about a particular opponent, bringing the minds of
Nigerians back to 2015 where dollar was 184 Naira.

When they compare the 2019 rate and that of 2019 they know, people will have a
rethink on who to vote for.

While you think about these two things, another conspiracy theory
that may also arise is that after Buhari said so much dollar had come into the
nation, people were exchanging for 184 Naira to one dollar.

That rate may have come to being because of the volume of dollar
that may have come into the system.

If that statement by Buhari is true, then the need to change the foreign
currency at all cost on Friday before election begins may be urgent so as to see monies to
share.

This may have forced the price of dollar in Naira down to 184:00 Naira. They
may not mind the loss so much, after all when the candidate who was helped with all the dollar wins, it will take few months to recoup the amount spent.

Was Google capturing the situation that had suddenly arose among
Bureau De Change practitioners who use applications that record how much they
are buying dollar in Nigeria?

Could Google have pulled the amounts spreading among Bureau De Change together and come up
with the amount it was displaying?

If that is not the case, then someone may have hacked into Googles
system to input that 184 Naira figure.

Just in case you search google and could not find the 184
Naira thing, see what Google posted on Twitter.

We’re aware of an issue causing inaccurate conversions for Nigerian Naira currency, so we will remove the conversion onebox from appearing in search results until we are able to diagnose the issue.

There was truly a mix up somewhere and this will go to proof
that elections will never be free and fair in Nations where social media thrive and where the government does not care to make rules that will stop infiltration.

Social networks have suddenly become something to be used in manipulation of nation's elections.

If the United States, with all its security will have its
elections tampered with by other nations, to the extent that Facebook decided
to take some actions, who is Nigeria to escape such manipulations?

Your answer is just like mine.

Another question we all must look for answers to is who was behind Google's 184 Naira to $1 message that spread on social network on the eve of Nigeria's election?
